I expect about 4-7 games from various fundraisers to arrive by the end of the year. I probably need to run some of them before I buy more.

I suspected as such, but it boils down to how managing these kinds of partnerships takes time and resources and this wasn't sustainable for Paizo. Perfectly reasonable.

Paizo is ending their partnership with Archives of Nethys, one of the biggest SRD resource for their games. This one makes little sense to me but I don't know the full story obviously. #ttrpg #pathfinder #pf2e www.archivesofnethys.com/agreement.html

No idea how I haven't heard of this before...but Jen is on today's Eldritch Lorecast (the #1 TTRPG podcast in all the realms) and they talked about this. Having done web accessibility for more than a decade and being an RPG nerd...this is really cool. #a11y #ttrpg

Doing an SPA for your secret society might not have been a good idea.

Incredibly sad for the people impacted by this. Reading about the consignment business model from the Bricks and Minifig story and how Paizo (and many others) essentially were robbed of millions of dollars of product in a C7 bankruptcy makes you wonder if this model needs to die.

OSS is a miracle and a curse. Imagine telling your C-suite you want to use a piece of code written by someone outside the company, hosted and managed outside the company and you have no control over their own security hygiene but your business is gonna be built on that piece of code...

Turns out I won’t run Arden Vul. Talking with the players it doesn’t sound appropriate yet for our 2 hours (often more like 1.5 hours) weekly sessions and the idea of a TPK cancelling months of play just didn’t appeal to us. We’re going with a different direction: Abomination Vaults with PF2E re 1/3

I've been doing web development for almost 20 years now and I couldn't figure out how to make my clinic's file upload work. It's a widget on their home page (outside the authenticated area) and when you submit the form it gets a 403. If I can't figure it out, how are typical patients supposed to?

[Mr Nadella] noted that a “telltale sign of if it’s a bubble” would be if only tech groups were benefiting from the rise of AI, rather than companies in other sectors. Imagine telling someone standing outside soaking wet that a telltale sign of rain would be if water was falling from the sky...

Kind of wild that on a Monday I was let go, on Wednesday a recruiter reached out and before I had time to figure out what to do with my spare time I got a job offer. And it’s a promotion too. I feel very lucky to say the least.

So I love Obsidian and don’t mind paying for the sync feature but editing a table on mobile to then go on my PC and the rows have duplicated a few times is not great. I’d rather not go back to Notion if I can avoid it

After 7 sessions of OSE with my group, a full TPK and a partial one I had a good conversation with the players. I came out as poly-game-ist and asked if they would be willing to see other systems every now and then. Everyone agreed AND we'll be rotating GM. What a freaking dream group.

Shadowrun Anarchy 2.0 in Kickstarter right now but oof. The physical tiers comes with a GM screen (eh) but PDF is €30 extra. The tier that includes it is more expensive by another €10 because it comes with the PDF for the GM screen. For that money you can get a lot of good indie games and zines.
